CTF WMD: WAR OF THE WORLD

Sponsored once again by Trustwave Spiderlabs, CTF WMD: War of the World (referred to as WMD:WotW) will see teams given a ‘country’ which they’re required to protect their daemons represented by Government Centers (GC), Finance Centers (FC), and Business Centers (BC). They are also required to launch attacks against rival teams’ countries. Teams will also be given side challenges (from categories such as forensic, reversing, network analysis (pcap), steganography and cryptography) that can be accessed by solving daemons. Nukes that are capable of completely destroying a rival team’s daemon can be unlocked by solving bonus challenges.
